put spring isolators in the front if they've been removed, or thicker ones. They also make spacers you can stick in the coils to raise it up but I dont care for that too much. if those arent an option than different springs

let me guess you have long tube headers?
new osilators will raise it about a 1/2 inch do not use the rubber stock ones...I agree to not use those twist ins on the coil springs seen them fly out before

I have also heard bad things about the spacers flying out, dont chance it. I seen a boy jack up a jeep one time until it extended the shocks out, then he put a muffler clamp on the shock and that was his lift kit. I wouldn't reccomend that either but I got a cheap laugh out of it so I thought I would share
